Workers Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 Review
Statutory review of the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld), focusing on system performance, psychological injury trends, causation thresholds, fraud integrity, and participant responsibilities. The QRC highlights growing pressures from psychological injury claims, delays in decision-making, and variability in medical assessments, which contribute to prolonged claim durations and rising costs. It recommends standardising psychological injury assessment criteria, strengthening evidentiary standards, improving coordination across insurers, employers, and healthcare providers, and conducting a targeted evaluation of post-2019 amendments to assess their impact on claim patterns and scheme sustainability.
